Hey Hacker News,

I am Victor, the CTO of Truework (https://www.truework.com), a startup providing an alternative to Equifax / TheWorkNumber.

We are working to change the way employment & income information is shared by employers with a more privacy focused approach where you, as an employee, decide if you want to give the information with the requester.

I started this company after I found out that Equifax shared my employment and income information without my consent when I was working at LinkedIn...
